Both letters were signed “John H. Dillinger.” Although I am not a handwriting expert, my analysis and observation of certain specific characteristics of the handwriting in the respective letters appear to show they were written by the same person. In addition, a single photograph was included with each letter. Both photographs appear to be the same man and consistent with what have been the chronological ages of Dillinger in 1959 (age 56) and 1963 (age 60). The man does have certain facial features, including the shapes of the eyes, nose, mouth and hairline that appear similar to Dillinger…

33:39 Play Later Play Later Lists Like Liked33:39
Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedThe FBI's use of John Dillinger's fingerprints marked a significant milestone in law enforcement history, highlighting the effectiveness of fingerprint identification in solving crimes. Dillinger, a notorious American gangster during the 1930s, was known for his string of bank robberies and escapes from custody, making him a high-profile target for law enforcement. On July 22, 1934, after a series of bank heists and a prison escape, John Dillinger was fatally shot by FBI agents outside the Biograph Theater in Chicago. Following his death, the FBI used his fingerprints to positively identify his body. This identification was crucial in confirming the end of Dillinger's criminal career and bringing closure to his reign of terror. The use of fingerprints in identifying Dillinger not only underscored the FBI's growing capabilities in forensic science but also demonstrated the importance of systematic record-keeping and cross-referencing of criminal identities. Dillinger's case reinforced the significance of fingerprints as a reliable method of identification, influencing future practices in law enforcement worldwide. Moreover, Dillinger's fingerprints were not only used for identification purposes but also served as a deterrent to other criminals, showcasing that law enforcement agencies could effectively track and apprehend even the most notorious offenders through meticulous forensic techniques. Thus, John Dillinger's fingerprints not only played a pivotal role in his posthumous identification but also contributed to the advancement of modern forensic science and the capabilities of law enforcement agencies in combating crime.…
